Short YouTube explainer (45s) by Matt Wolfe describing Perplexity.ai as a large language model that augments LLM responses by automatically searching the internet and using found material as context to produce more informed answers. The speaker notes that Perplexity behaves like ChatGPT/Claude but always runs web searches, making it useful for up-to-date information and sometimes preferable to regular Google.
Perplexity is essentially a large language model, like ChatGPT or like Claude, or whatever large language model you're used to using, but it also searches the Internet for you whenever you ask it any sort of questions, and then uses whatever it finds as part of the context for their response. So you could ask it questions just like you would ask ChatGPT. And when it's formulating that question, it's always going to do like a search on the Internet to try to make sure it's giving you the most informed response that it possibly can. And once you start using it, often it's kind of hard to go back to regular Google. But I just wanted to add that extra context just before we get into what you're going to show off here.
